The Fall of Rome!



Like many other empires, the great and mighty ROME has FALLEN to their

destruction and insignificance to the modern world (physically, it has a huge influence on other countries.) and a lot of rome's decline had to do with internal problem like POLITICIANS, LOYALTIES, and ECONOMY ( does anyone think those sound familiar???) well, thanks to CONSTANTINE, and DIOCLETIAN, rome lasted another 200 YEARS! after that Rome was under attack by many cultures and rome was physically wiped off the "FACE OF THE EARTH". well at least half of it. Diocletian had split Rome in two as a way to make governing easier, and the west side eventually crumbled. Constantine had also moved the capital of rome to Byzantium, hence the BYZANTIUM EMPIRE, but Constantine was so popular, the city was then changed to CONSTANTINOPLE AND THAT IS THE FALL OF ROME.

Nice information, Augustine. I like it how you used some descriptive words.

So, problems of loyalty led the fall to the Roman Empire. That is a problem because the government becomes corrupt, and then "the people" no longer becomes willing to contribute to the government. It was like the Mandate of Heaven. Read the Chapter of China to learn more about it.However, Constantine and Diocletian should be thanked for prolonging Rome before its fall.

Also, I forgot to say that you have a funny way of putting things, but it makes what you say interesting. Thanks for your information!
